# Cupcake Mania™ vs Pink Dial

The clearest difference is rating: Pink Dial at 5.0 against Cupcake Mania™'s 4.3. Pink Dial also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Cupcake Mania™'s advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and device support. On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cupcake Mania™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pink Dial sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pink Dial holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cupcake Mania™ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
